Amber speaks with eight-time National Champion, two-time Pan American Champion, and World Championship medalist, Brad Huff. Brad reflects on his long career in cycling, how an eating disorder almost ended his career before it began, and why his “farm kid work ethic” was both an asset and a liability. He shares how he stayed clean in a sport rife with performance-enhancing drugs, including stories about his encounters with doping in the sport. Brad reveals the pivotal change that enabled his most successful years on the bike and the tactics he used to win the US Pro Criterium National Championship ten years after his first US Pro Criterium title. He explains why joy, connection, and collaboration are essential to performance, and shares about his new project, The Men’s Room.
